Jeff Steere – AbsentRick Brown – Present Marion Tobin - Present
Quorum was obtained.
HOME OWNER FORUM:
There were several homeowners who were present with concerns about loud music, cigarette smoke coming into their units, including barbecue smoke. One homeowner was concerned about the condition of siding on his unit and he is going to do a temporary fix since we are still not able to move forward with major repairs until the lawsuit is settled. The residents asked about the lawsuit and Jeff Steere informed them that David Furtado, the attorney handling the case, felt it might go to trial this month. Another resident was aware of a homeless woman hanging around; the Board suggested they call the police. Since the police have been called on at least two occasions for loud music, the next time they should inform John Young and he can start filling complaints about it including fines, the residents agreed to do that.
